Long worried by overwhelming U.S. ownership of some major industries, Canadians are trying a new tactic for redressing the balance: they are moving to buy up foreign-owned firms in key areas, particularly natural resources. Last week the government-owned Canada Development Corp. made a $290 million tender offer for shares in U.S.-owned Texasgulf Inc., a large natural-resource company that has piled up high profits by digging deep holes in the ground...
...tender offer is the largest deal that the C.D.C. has so far attempted. The addition of Texasgulf to its portfolio (other holdings: a synthetic-rubber maker, three medical laboratories in Canada) is expected to speed plans to put C.D.C. stock on sale to the Canadian public.

It tastes much like conventional beef but is slightly richer. Best of all, Basolo figures that it will eventually be priced 25% to 40% cheaper than the real thing...
...first place, he rose early ("busy day ahead") and did many errands according to a schedule, as elaborately as possible. He also practiced a form of positive thinking: "Almost all work is useless and meaningless," he tells himself, "and therefore the virtuous man will avoid working." To water these tender young suppositions further, so they can grow into a healthy prejudice, he quoted the opening lines of The Prisoner of Zenda: "'I wonder when in the world you're going to do anything, Rudolf?' said my brother's wife. 'My dear Rose,' I answered...
